The article is right. GM expecially has been trying to do a lot in getting their quality issues resolved. But most people dont buy cars just based on the break-down rates. Its also the interior design that goes into account. And even now, Ford and GM cars have long ways to go to get the interiors to look and feel like some of the imports like Honda and Toyota.
And even though many GM and Ford operations are closing, there are others popping up. Apparently there will be a new manufacturing Toyota plant in Cambridge, and Honda in Alliston no longer builds only Civics. But overall car sales are down, and the whole auto industry is feeling it. And also the large salaries of NA auto workers are making car manufacturing less and less profitable. NA car market is currently oversaturated and it will take some time before millions of people that have purchased cars in the past few years, start needing new cars.

I read a review article on this one a few months ago.. can't remember where. I recall the overall theme was that the quality is not quite what one would expect from a Mercedes.

It looks really sharp though (imo)

Enough room to fit 5 honies and yourself and have some space left for the bottles.

What's sad, is that the Marauder, even with that 302bhp V8, is slower than a Honda Accord V6 6-spd.

I'd like to see you drive through a brick wall in an Accord...

I don't deny that the Maurauder is totally badass, but the money that Ford wanted for it when new and its performance was quite ridiculous and lackluster, respectively. They're all image.
